when all someone needs is a listening ear,
a little compassion and, perhaps,
some shared prayer time.

WE NEED YOU!
If you share our Christian faith and feel able to accept and practise our shared values, you are really welcome to join our family of
Christian listening volunteers.
AS A LISTENING VOLUNTEER, YOU WILL OPERATE FROM HOME
All you need is a landline or mobile, online access for training and communication, and a little time each week that you are willing to share with others in need.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
You will receive comprehensive listener training online.
There are seven training modules, covering all aspects of Christian listening, including how to listen effectively, how to respond to emotional distress, how to safeguard children and vulnerable adults, and how to handle the most difficult and sensitive calls. In each module, great emphasis is given to how the listener might create space for the caller to encounter Jesus in their particular situation. You will also have access to 3 hours ongoing training every year.
CONTINUOUS SUPPORT
You will ring in to a virtual call centre to access calls.
You can sign up for watches (i.e. shifts) online at times convenient to you. During your watch, you will have continuous access to an experienced watch leader for advice, assistance and prayer support. At the end of each watch, you will contact the watch leader for a debriefing and a short prayer time together, to ensure that you have committed any worries you may have to Jesus.
You will always feel well supported and cared for.
